How to Create Configuration Files

Step

Once you have defined all appropriate parameters for the Solaris Volume Manager environment, use the metastat -p command to create the /etc/lvm/md.tab file.

# metastat -p > /etc/lvm/md.tab

This file contains all parameters for use by the metainit command and metahs command. Use this file if you need to set up several similar environments or if you need to recreate the configuration after a system failure.

For more information about the md.tab file, see Overview of the md.tab File and the md.tab(4) man page.
